In 1973 I worked as electronic technician for large corporation with more than a hundred engineers, some of whom were avid photographers. There was a huge stir and much excitement when this sales pamphlet showed up, describing how the new Super-Multi-Coating works, and listing all the new lenses and equipment, with prices. Well, I knew what I wanted but also knew my salary wasn't enough yet. Fast forward to 2006...you all know that story -- not only could I easily afford all that stuff; it was also very inexpensive!

very interesting.....geez, if ya converted those prices, especially for the likes of the motordrive stuff into today's money, it equates to some pretty expensive stuff in those days.

That's SOLID GOLD, wow!!! What a brochure.

@martin - with ads, I for one figure that a) if the company exists, free publicity is free publicity b) the ad agency and often whoever owned the legal entity of the advertiser are both long gone... and yes, I have a bit of c) internet anarchy :p
